Keever Vineyards happens to always tell a great story through their wines. Started in 1999, this small family owned and operated winery is located in the rocky hills of Napa Valley just southwest of Yountville. They farm a 6.5 acre vineyard planted to four clones of Cabernet Sauvignon and a small amount of Sauvignon Blanc. Their wines are handcrafted by one of California’s top winemakers Celia Welch of Scarecrow, Corra & Buccella fame. Made in very small quantities, their wines are collectable, age-worthy, and stunningly unique.
“Wine is more than our business. We live every day among the vines and barrels, guarding them with care and love. Our stewardship of our land and our wines, our dedication to this craft and our family, result in wines that perfectly express both the seasons past and the dreams to come." -The Keever Family
The aromas on this fully ripe 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon show lovely dark cherry and cocoa notes, baking spices and cedar bark, anise, currants, berry jam. Full, soft and velvety at entry, the palate impression is broad and very smooth, with bright fresh fruit elements. Nice resolution between oak and fresh berry notes at finish leave a bright, juicy impression.
Always a pure, classic, impeccably made wine, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon is no exception and offers textbook aromatics of cassis and assorted dark fruits as well as subtle chocolate, cedary herbs, and tobacco leaf. Medium to full-bodied, ripe, wonderfully balanced, and with a great finish, it’s well worth your time and money. It will have 10-15 years of prime drinking.
